Abstract: The device for increasing volume of a container (24) has extension elements (37, 38, 39, 40) pivotally mounted on an upper edge (31) of an upper opening (32) so as to form a cover at least partially closing the upper opening (32) when the extension elements (37, 38, 39, 40) are in flat closed positions and an enlarging extension (27) for the container when the extension elements are in raised filling positions, neighboring extension elements being pivotally connected with each other, and at least one driving pivoting device (53), which pivots or swings each extension element (37, 38, 39, 40) from its flat closed position into its raised filling position (47, 48, 49, 50) out beyond a vertical position thereof in a direction toward an exterior of the container, or from its raised filling position into its flat closed position.

Abstract: An offset crankshaft for driving a plurality of adjacently-positioned straw walker racks in a self-propelled agricultural machine, in particular a combine harvester, which includes shaft sections extending in an alternating horizontal and diagonal pattern in the shaft longitudinal direction, each of its horizontal shaft sections passing through a pivot bearing of a straw walker rack, its two shaft ends being rotatably mounted in the combine harvester housing, the crankshaft being statically and dynamically balanced via the variation of the offset angle, by way of which the out-of-balance forces are minimized without the need for additional balancing masses, and by way of which a quiet running behavior of the straw walker crankshaft is attained.

Abstract: A self-propelling processing machine, in particular an agricultural harvesting machine has an axle receiving front wheels, a removable attachment, a driver's cabin located above the axle, a substantially horizontal inlet platform located at an outlet side of the driver's cabin, an outlet being arranged in a free space between a respective one of the front wheels which is associated with the inlet platform and the attachment, and a walkable outlet platform mounted on the attachment at a side facing the outlet in a position substantially corresponding to a position of the outlet.
